January 21, Microsoft held in its headquarters in Redmond scale presentations on Windows 10, announced that the new operating system will be distributed free of charge to users of Windows 7, 8 / 8.1 and Windows Phone 8 / 8.1 in the first year . But this, according to sources from the supply chain, this will hardly encourages users to upgrade laptops.
According to the Taiwanese trade publication DigiTimes, citing sources in the industry, Windows 10 is available as a free update, is unlikely to improve the pace of laptops modernization , especially in the corporate sector. Now the majority of users still use Windows 7, despite the availability of Windows 8 / 8.1. Moreover, Windows XP, whose support has expired back in April of last year, is used in up to 10% of the computers and laptops. Free upgrade stimulates some users on the move to Windows 10, but the supply of laptops is unlikely to grow strongly. This is explained by the fact that now the replacement notebooks for consumers is not a priority and they prefer instead to buy a new smartphone or tablet.
Sources say that this year notebook manufacturers, with the exception of Apple, will not attract consumers, despite the introduction of innovative and unique designs. And the market will continue to lead the inexpensive notebook models.
